This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. Ghost is at risk for behavior reasons. Ghost can become easily over-aroused when interacting with people. He is a strong dog who is quick to put his mouth on people. When being brought to the Care Center, he jumped up and ripped a handler's sweatshirt. Ghost was unable to get through his handling assessment due to immediately jumping up and mouthing; however, he has been manageable to go on walks. Medically, he is apparently healthy. This pet is available only through ACC New Hope partners. To adopt or foster, please complete the pre-screener form below. Inquiries sent directly to ACC will not receive a response. Pre-Screener Form Meet Ghost! 🐾 Ghost is a handsome boy with striking blue eyes who is sure to catch your attention! Since Ghost came to us as a stray, we don't have any information about his previous home or past experiences. Ghost is a friendly, strong dog who can get overly excited quickly. When aroused, he may escalate to jumping up and using his mouth, so he will need an experienced owner who understands canine behavior and can provide consistent structure, clear boundaries, and positive guidance. Helping Ghost learn to manage his excitement and develop better impulse control will be important to his success. Ghost is looking for a committed, knowledgeable adopter who can help him channel his energy, build good habits, and set him up for success.
